Yep. They wanted to keep boys from playing with female action figures so bad, they put Rey in the very first wave of The Force Awakens toys.

No. There were Rey action figures in the first series of both the 6" and 3.75" The Force Awakens waves (with her face uncovered). She wasn’t short packed either.

The problem wasn’t that Hasbro wasn’t making Rey figures, it’s that stores couldn’t keep Rey on shelves. In my area, Rey was initially a peg warmer and Kylo…

Scalpers probably contributed to this as well. That is why Amazon listings can be misleading when it comes to supply at retail.

a quick search on Amazon brings up at least 13 Rey with face uncovered action figures from The force Awakens on the first page alone

So that character isn’t recognizable because her name isn’t specifically spelled out and she’s not a redhead?

I’m with you. It was a twist just for the sake of being a twist, which is only there to fake out people who know the source material. This wasn’t as bad as Robin John Blake, because that one was a lot less subtle with how much that was supposed to feel like a reveal. But I still think the comparison is appropriate.

My problem with the MJ twist is that I feel the name Mary Jane carries too much baggage for Michelle to be her own character at this point. The second you hear she’s MJ you start thinking about the romance which now HAS to happen, her calling him tiger and her getting abducted. These are all tropes tied to this…

The hottest of takes! So hot it’ll burn ya crotch!

The characters models, and the way the armor sits on them, are distinctly different in game and clearly identifiable as male or female. These are all dudes for sure.

Jesus Christ, Don’t start with that bullshit, please. We’re not talking about real-world armor, are we? The in-game models are clearly identifiable as male and female without being even remotely sexualized. I don’t want “giant plates for their tits”, your words btw, just figures that fairly represent the game.

I will have these, but I’d be lying if I said I was totally thrilled with them all.

First off, they’re ALL dudes, what the fuck is up with that? Second, I fucking HAAAAAATE that Iron Banner Hunter Armor, always have, always will. That wolf’s head cloak should have looked badass, but it just looks goofy. Hopefully the…

Oh Christ, is this going to be one of those Japanese things when I need to watch an anime, an OVA, read a manga series, a short novel only available in japan, a flash game, and special movie just to understand the story in the game itself?

I’m so tired of the whole “body shaming” discussion. If you’re overweight, fat, obese, whatever....It’s not healthy and a person should take better care of themselves. If you’re too thin, skinny, a “rail”, whatever....It’s probably not healthy and a person should take care of themselves.

I think the whole point is to show that Prompto probably has some self confidence issues that he hides behind a happy go-lucky attitude. He’s the mutt of the group; no noble parentage, potentially exhiled from his home country, unattractive in younger years, and is the scrawniest of the group physically. In the new…

Down goes another individual for thinking something the hive doesn’t like! We did it, Internet!

“As for mutants, Marvel’s killing them off en masse with the same Terrigen mist cloud that’s creating new Inhumans. To add insult to injury, the publisher is also making the remaining mutant survivors sterile.”

You’re right trying to look like Will Smith is a total universal insult to human dignity.

Black face is meant as a form of mockery aimed at a race, which this doesn’t strike me as mockery in that sense. If this is an example of mockery it would imply that to have dark skin is a bad thing, saying it is racist is pretty much saying that being dark skinned is an attribute that should be considered demeaning.…

Tired topic is tired.

Not trying to be insensitive, but blackface in japan might not be the same thing as black face in america. The united states has a pretty rich history with ‘white’ culture appropriating black culture, along with a massive racial inequality through segregation. Japanese culture hasn’t seen this, in fact for much of the…
